VCF Readiness 9.8.2

This is the first public beta release of VCF Readiness!

The project was born out of conversations with Kalyan Krishnaswamy and Phong Le about "how do we make it easy for customers to reuse hardware for VCF".

It started with HCL validation (checking servers, NICs, CPUs, Server Chassis, Drives) against the VMware HCL, but expanded to known misconfigurations, security hardening checks, health status, and a general purpose inventory tool.

I've taken inspiration from other projects over the years like Spiceworks (who showed me that inventory tooling didn't have to be ugly or painful), the vCommunity hardware project, RVtools, and DPACK (Proving that a simple pre-sales tool can be an anything tool if you try hard enough).

I'd like to thank everyone who's helped get this to the intial release and look froward to feedback!
